Drafted, signed, waived (all in about two weeks)

[Mr. Scot]

and finding out you have a heart condition that at the least might keep you out of the game you worked so hard to be a part of and could be something that is a major issue for the rest of his life?

wow what a tornado

Was probably super excited to be picked by the world champs too.

Like a lot of guys, might have had dreams of buying his mom a house and such.

Sad to hear :(

Maybe it's a heart condition just like Star had one...

I would think the Seahawks would have waited for a definitive diagnosis before they would cut him...

Making fun of someone's health is the lowest you can go, but get offended when someone talks sexual preference it's a big problem.

Who exactly made fun of his condition?

[ThunderKatt]

Not you, of course.  You seemed more emphathetic so definitely not you.  I am referring to another post.

Going to assume he played at least some college football, so how did this heart problem get past the medical team at his school?

It could have occurred recently.

Yep. His post about Roddy White's brother passing was just as bad.

Curse of the Brady pick!

I'm surprised things like this don't happen more often. I honestly wonder how teams' can have accurate physicals on a thousand or so eligible draft prospects.

"Sorry guys, we had to cut our 7th round pick. Turns out he didn't have legs or a working endocrine system . . . A cactus, he was a cactus."

From what I hear, from a former team doctor, all the team doctors and their assistants share their notes on all the draft prospects to try to avoid this

Much respect to Seattle

 

There's a silver lining. The Seahawks found out about Scott's condition before signing him but the team signed him to his contract anyway, then waived him. That means Scott receives his signing bonus and first-year salary totaling about $555,000, according to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.
